To see more of her apartment, turn to p15. VISUAL ESCAPISM must be one of the biggest interiors trends of the past year. For many of us, travelling abroad, heading away for the weekend or simply soaking up the atmosphere in a favourite restaurant isn’t yet a reality, so we’re often drawn to spaces that set our imaginations free. And that’s where magazines like real living come in. The stories in this issue are not only filled with inspiration, they allow us to dream, too. This month’s Space Crush (p30) is a gorgeous Melbourne hair salon – recommended reading for those in lockdown, who, like me, are dreaming of visiting their hairstylist!

meet the designers Joel Alcorn and Chloe Middleton are the creative duo behind this newly tailored home. Amao.com.au | @alcornmiddleton AS FAR AS DOWNSIZERS GO, this new four-bedroom apartment in Kangaroo Point, Brisbane, is a standout. Boasting single-level occupancy and views over the water and CBD, it’s larger than the modest home that its owners, a couple on the verge of retirement, ‘downsized’ from. Despite the state-of-the-art finishes and generous open-plan living, the couple felt quite lost in their new surrounds. So they invited Brisbane duo Joel Alcorn and Chloe Middleton of Alcorn Middleton Architecture Office (AMAO) to help make the spacious apartment feel more like a home. DRAW THE LINE “For 40 years, the owners lived in a modest Queenslander, which had a series of small rooms for dedicated…

design notes Paonazzo marble on the benchtops and splashback is offset by the fluted Venetian plaster rangehood and wall treatment. “We wanted another soft texture here that felt sculptural and artistic,” Tali says. the details The owners of this New York townhouse asked interior designer Tali Roth to create a kitchen that was open, inviting and highly usable. “The palette was inspired by their travels – lots of natural colours and an overall feeling of earthiness and timelessness,” Tali tells. "We settled on two types of green marble and warm European oak for the floors and cabinetry.” Due to the home’s narrow footprint, the only space for a dining table was in the kitchen itself. Tali and her team added a custom chopping board to sit on top at counter…

design notes Marble tiles in three colours create a gingham pattern on the floor and around the mid-section of the shower. “White waterproof rendered walls sit quietly against this key design feature,” says Sally. the details Part of a modest guesthouse on a large property, this bathroom was treated to a charming renovation by the team at Melbourne interior design studio Sally Caroline. “This being a space to accommodate extended family and guests, the owners were happy to take risks they may not have taken with the main house,” says design director Sally Knibbs. Relocating the vanity to just outside the bathroom gave them more room to work with, a good chunk of which is given to a double shower with green steel screen. Green and white gingham tiles lend…

WHEN NORWEGIAN ARCHITECT Danielle Siggerud began the renovations on this Denmark home, the house was divided into three apartments. The brief to transform it into a single residence included a new central kitchen to sit at the heart of the house, with access from the dining, library, living room and garden. Most importantly, it had to capitalise on the view towards Copenhagen’s storybook Frederiksberg Gardens. “The location of the house is quite unique as it faces a corner of the gardens, and the aspiration was to embrace and incorporate this view as part of the kitchen and dining area,” says Danielle. “Our focus was on feeling grounded at kitchen level when looking outside, we placed the kitchen at half a level below the dining area, which creates an even stronger…

FOR OVER 150 YEARS, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc has been the muse of many illustrious artists and writers. Slim Aarons famously photographed the turquoise pool, Pablo Picasso sketched guests sporting nothing but bronzed tans, and author F Scott Fitzgerald immortalised the Napoleon III-style building and its gardens in his novel Tender is the Night. More than a holiday resort, the seaside hotel is a hallowed playground for celebs, politicians, royalty and travellers who wouldn’t dream of spending their summers anywhere else. Before high society descended upon her pine tree-lined shore, the hotel was established as a writer’s retreat called Villa Soleil by French journalist Hippolyte de Villemessant in 1870. It was a secluded hideaway for the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, and yes, F Scott Fitzgerald, who wrote, “On the…

OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS, Christine Sofie Johansen and Rasmus Robert have lived in four homes in Denmark and another four homes in New York. This dance between design capitals has served them well – for the married couple behind Danish studio Force Majeure, this lifestyle provides inexhaustible creative inspiration. “It’s the best of both worlds in our eyes,” Christine explains. According to Christine, “New York City and the United States are very inspired by Europe and Denmark, which have lots of design history, furniture and art.” Design can be adventurous in America, she says, and there’s a desire to stand out. In Denmark, on the other hand, “we prefer to look like each other and it quickly becomes a bit monotonous”. So when the opportunity to renovate this Copenhagen…

design notes A custom pink concrete island by Concrete Bespoke is a compelling addition to the space. “It’s raw and textural and is beautiful in its imperfectness,” says Alexander &CO PR and marketing director Tess Glasson. the details Designed as a residential showcase space to nurture ideas and encourage experimentation, Alexander House is also the workplace of Sydney architecture firm Alexander &CO. Here, materials are deeply expressive and each space has myriad uses. Take the lofty kitchen, which heroes reclaimed timber ceilings, polished concrete floors, aged brass tapware and an eyecatching Calacatta Viola stone splashback. Banquette seating just out of shot can accommodate the full team of 24, while shelves display pieces from a bespoke ceramic tableware collaboration between Alexander &CO and Studio Enti.…

design notes A Disc Orb wall light by In Common With and rounded joinery handles are a nod to the home’s midcentury modern architecture. “The rendered wall finish adds subtle texture and materiality,” says Carla. the details Pared-back tones and subtle materials prevail in this townhouse renovation by Sydney design studio Tom Mark Henry, with the master ensuite a prime example. “The owners wanted a space that was comfortable and functional; a no-fuss, intuitive room for respite,” says interior designer Carla Matias. Simple white joinery and render-finished walls provide a timeless, understated base, with a luxe marble benchtop and sculptural wall sconce taking these subdued elements to an elegant next level. Mosaic feature tiles in the shower and aged iron tapware add further contrast and interest.…

ALTHOUGH EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS and accompanied by utilitarian materials, this landscaping project by Eckersley Garden Architecture cleverly complements the clean-cut lines of a contemporary home by Clare Cousins Architecture. With the aim of accommodating the busy lives of a family with three children under 10, the brief was to create an enveloped sanctuary filled with native greenery robust enough to withstand the home’s bayside location in Beaumaris, Victoria. “Having worked closely with Clare Cousins Architecture for many years, we have a good design dialogue going. Clare sets her intentions for the design and together as a team, we make it happen,” says Myles Broad, director of Eckersley Garden Architecture. To start, plant selections work harmoniously with the home’s timber accents. “We punctuated the facade with tall coastal banksia trees,…

-3 4°32’59.9 9” S 15 0°22’29.9 9” E EVERYTHING IS QUIET AND STILL as dusk’s glow begins to filter through the sky in a peaceful corner of Moss Vale, in the NSW Southern Highlands. The fire pit crackles to life and horses snuffle nearby as the sun sinks behind trees – evening at Hideout Cabins offers a tranquillity that’s hard to top. Located about an hour-and-a-half south of Sydney on a 56-hectare working horse farm, there are two cabins available for guests to book, each as secluded and luxurious as the other. One is positioned over a picturesque dam while the other offers views of paddocks and hills that stretch as far as the eye can see, and both are great examples of tiny-house design done well. Opened to visitors…

ROSITA MISSONI IS THE MATRIARCH of a design empire, an icon of the Italian fashion industry and an unapologetically enthusiastic collector – although not necessarily in that order. Inevitably, Rosita’s interior style is inseparable from the brand she founded with her late husband Ottavio Missoni in 1953, when the young couple opened a knitwear business. By the early 1970s, their distinct variegated chevron-striped clothing designs had an international fan base and since then, Missoni has become synonymous with jaunty, technicolour textiles. Fashion may be the foundation of the Missoni brand, but it hasn’t defined Rosita’s career or aesthetic. Exhausted by the fashion industry, she stepped away from her role as creative director in the 1990s, handed the title to her daughter Angela and turned her attention to a new project,…

HIDDEN BEHIND THE STRIKING BLACK FACADE of an 1890s building in inner-city Melbourne is Joey Scandizzo Salon, a newly revamped destination that aims to enhance the client experience thanks in no small part to the work of Kennon Architecture and Interiors. Behind the strong, masculine exterior of the former State Savings Bank awaits softly detailed, textural, monochromatic interiors that ooze elegance and calm. “The interior is a refined and heavily detailed space,” says Pete Kennon, founder and director. “We put considerable effort into removing the built-up remains of previous renovations from the walls and ceiling to uncover the original Victorian-Italianate structure.” Pretty yet practical, terrazzo stone flooring hides any spilled hair product while visually linking the site to its Italian heritage. A custom bone-white marmorino plaster finish by Kennon Studio…

LEINSTER SQUARE IS AN ENCLAVE OF ELEGANCE in a feverishly fashionable part of London. It’s also the address of this new, luxurious townhouse, one of 15 recently developed bespoke residences within a heritage-listed building. The mastermind behind this project is Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the founder of multidisciplinary property firm Banda, who purchased the building in 2017. “Westbourne Grove is one of London’s most exciting villages and home to beautiful boutiques and restaurants,” Edo says. While the location caught his eye, it was the building’s 1850s architecture that captured his imagination. “It offered a unique opportunity to breathe life into a heritage building and marry traditional architecture with lateral living,” Edo reflects. “The high ceilings and large traditional windows give such a feeling of calm and space. And it’s south-facing, so…

who lives here? Architect Manuelle Gautrand and her husband. Manuelle-gautrand.com | @manuellegautrand MANUELLE GAUTRAND HAS LIVED IN PARIS for more than two decades, and in that time her eponymous firm has made quite a mark on the city. But the European Prize for Architecture winner remains a southerner at heart. “As someone who was raised in Marseille, I am particularly attached to the qualities of colour and natural light,” Manuelle says. So, when her two grown children recently moved out of the family’s top-floor apartment in the Marais district, she decided it was time to infuse the historic home with some Mediterranean charm. DIVINE LIGHT Manuelle and her husband had two main objectives: to improve the apartment’s flow and bring in natural light throughout the day. Their first goal was…

design notes Alexander House showcases a range of shower systems, including a shower curtain in this ground-floor space. “It creates drama and brings the eye to the high ceiling heights,” explains Tess. the details The three bathrooms at Alexander House continue the narrative of innovation and reflection, each utilising different tiles, plasters and accessories to present three distinct looks and feels. “This one is our homage to the lifestyle of Bondi – sandy, coastal and simple,” says Tess. A sunbleached white and cream palette contrasts with the brass fixtures, while crazy paving floors resemble the iconic beach’s sand-covered footpaths. A custom concrete mirror frame and deep basin by Concrete Bespoke are two luxurious inclusions that several clients have already requested for their own homes, Tess reveals.…

seasonal mandarin cake bakewell cake THERE’S ONE INGREDIENT ABOVE all others that makes Rosie Meehan’s cakes special: it’s a pinch of nostalgia. Through her Sydney-based business Added Sugar, she whips up luscious layered cakes topped with fluffy buttercream and the sweetest retro-style piping. Her creations have a simple elegance that brings to mind baking styles of the 1960s – but Rosie’s cakes are more than just prettiness on a plate. “I want people to take a bite and go, ‘now that’s a good, proper piece of cake’,” she says. “My emphasis is always on making things taste delicious.” Slice into one of Rosie’s masterpieces and you might marvel at how she gets the cake crumb so light yet so moist, and how the buttercream feels decadent but is ephemeral enough…
